Sand Kingdom Purple Coin FAQ
How many purple coins are in Sand Kingdom?
Sand Kingdom has 100 purple regional coins. The 31 numbered clusters in this guide add up to exactly 100.
When are all Sand Kingdom purple coins available?
Finish the Sand Kingdom story and return before doing a full cleanup. The fountain will be thawed, and every story interior and checkpoint used by this route can be revisited.
Which Sand Kingdom purple coins are easiest to miss?
The hidden-block coins in the last Inverted Pyramid mural, the Underground Temple platforms, the six-coin Bullet Bill side path and the three Jaxi cave clusters are the most common misses.
How can I find my last missing Sand Kingdom purple coins?
Check the Inverted Pyramid and Underground Temple first, then revisit every bonus room. A compatible Bowser amiibo can also reveal uncollected regional coin positions on the in-game map, but it is not required.
What can I buy with Sand Kingdom purple coins?

Can Sand Kingdom purple coins be used in another kingdom?
